Wow...tell them they are stupid...
If we don't plant them...?
Who will?

Short sighted fucks they are...
They can enjoy this but the next generation can't?

All in due time. For now, the plan is to graft some elm foliage on tomorrow and enter it into the prestigious 'Ulmus Selfie Contest'
Make sure you have the correct constipated facial expression in the selfie....judges in Ulmus comps love that
 
I thought you were a true pioneer when you had it planted in pure air substrate, but you dropped back with the rest of the pack, using yesterday's inorganics. I was going to flame you for the inverse taper, but the hammer resolved that nicely. You are obviously a master stick pounder. As for a name: 'Nabe ni Sutikku' (pronounced nah-beh nee steek-ku; translation from Japanese: 'Stick in a Pot.')
 
It's really coming along nicely. I notice you removed the surface moss. Was it keeping the pot too wet? You might want to try one of those humidity/drip trays.

Since the juniper grafts have taken over, you should probably do a half bare root repotting next spring. In the meantime, I think it could use a "gin" or two.
 
Now I know your secret! Watering (lubricating) with gin. Thats a good use for gin, its too nasty to drink. But Im guessing the pine like flavor has micro goodness for the new foliage. What it needs now are some bayan style roots and some kinda flower. Orchids maybe? You could stick a little fig on there, and make a roots over stick in pot style. That would get you the roots. Maybe bougie flowers with enough branch to get some nice thorns. Needs air layering for radial roots, or just graft some. Also it needs some hemlock or other poison, its not dangerous enough. No thorns, no poison, no danger = no wins at the next stick in pot show..you'll get it right. Ya got plenty of time. Keep hammering, and where are the wire scars???
